------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------
When it comes to discussing common treatments for rosacea: unfortunately -- I'm
an expert.
It all started for me in high school with what looked like simple acne: In the
mirror I could see my flushed cheeks and nose, with small red bumps that looked
like pimples creeping across my face. However, when a rash spread to my scalp
and ears, I knew that something else was going on.
I saw a dermatogist, and was suprised that this had absolutely nothing to do
with acne at all, but was in fact a completely different skin condition...The
doctor was surprised as well, because he told me that rosacea doesn't usually
become syptomatic in people under 30 years old.
I soon noticed that these "breakouts" also seemed to coincide with stressful
events in my life. In fact, I missed my Junior Prom because of a particularly
severe flare-up before final exams (too bad -- my date was really cute!). I
soon learned that sun, spicy foods, and alcohol could also trigger rosacea
flareups.
My purpose in writing this article is to cover some of the treatments for
rosacea that are available to women who are new to the condition, as well as to
go over some of the alternative remedies that I have found recently.
Depending on the severity of your rosacea, there are several treatment options
available to you...Please know that I have literally tried them all, and I
have listed them in the chronological order of my experience with each
treatment:
1. Cosmetics: Foundation can help to mask mild symptoms...A
cosmetician I know has even recommended green-tinted makeup! Unfortunately,
cosmetics can only do so much, and of course it can do no more than to
literally cover up the original problem itself.
2. Oral antibiotics: This is one of the first treatments for rosacea
that a doctor will recommend to you, and it can offer the temporay relief of
symptoms of a flare-up...In general, I tend to avoid antibiotics as they can
wreak havoc on the immune system as a whole.
3. Medicated lotions and creams: Believe it or not, this is actually
my least favorite treatment out there, as I have experienced headaches, nausea,
& diahhrea with some of these products. However, topical antibiotic creams
remain a very popular treatment for rosacea...Please remember that these
products are NOT safe for pregnant women, and do NOT to use any
over-the-counter acne medications instead which contain benzoil peroxide.
4. Laser therapy: Yikes! A laser is actually not as invasive as it
sounds, but the treatments are expensive and ongoing, and are typically not
covered by insurance. Lasers are useful for repairing broken blood vessels and
to treat the overall redness, especially with facial rosacea.
5. Alternative remedies: I have actually had the most success with
non-medical treatments for rosacea, and have tried more than a few, including
apple cider vinegar, green tea cream...even licorice(see below).
I hope that this brief overview has given you an idea of some of the
treatments for rosacea available to you today. Also know that the information
that I am offering here is in no way objective and unbiased...What you are
reading is the unvarnished truth based upon my first-hand experience with these
various treatments for rosacea...The GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY! Good luck
and stay clear.
A message from Susie: My hope is to empower you with the information you will
need to live rosacea-free. If you have the courage to take action to eliminate
your rosacea forever, I'm here to help...You can follow my blog here:
